A brutal AstrOlOger.

New YORK, January l9.-Astrologer
John De Leon, who was recently ar
rested charged with sending young girls
to Panama for imu oral purposes, wa
placed ON trial to- day on an indictment
for kidnapping. The chief witness was
Stephen Bonsam, a reporter, who worked
his way into DE Icons confidence. He
testified that De Leon told him that
as an astrologer large number
of women came to him; that he
picked out certain ones and got them in
debted to him and then sent them to
Panama, consigned to vile women, as
suring them positions at servants at
high wages. DE Leon said he had sent
400 girls to Panama in ten months, and
never heard from them, nor had he had
any trouble. ''Dead girls, like dead
men, tell no tales; the sporting life and
climate down in Panama soon carry
them off,

Thousands of Reptiles DiscOy.
cred by Cow boys.

A den of reptiles has been discovered
In the stone quarry near the junct on of
of Twin Butte creek and Huckieberry
creek by a cowboy named Willis, who,
in passing near the quarry, was sur
prlsed to notice that the grass had been
worn out near the roots by many trails
leading in the direction of the rocks
Leaping from his horse, Willis found
that the trails all centered toward a
small cavity. He approached the open
ing In the rocks, and was about to sto0p
down, when he was surprised to see the
heads of a dozen or more huge reptiles
appear before him. The herder jumped
back and pulled revolver, fired into
the hole. Instantly q seething mass OF
snakes began to pour out, with heads
erect and Kissing sounds. and hastened
toward the indruder who had invaded
their peacefulness. Willis took to his
heels and started ON run for the spot
where his horse was standing. Before
reaching the animal, however, he en-
countered large number Of serpents
and barely escaped being bitten.
Willis rode to the Harris place,
where several men are employed, and
notified them of the circumstances. They
at once started for the den and on reach
ing the spot were horrified at the sight
which greeted their eyes. The lodges
of the quarry were entirely lined with
snakes. Shotguns loaded with heavy
shot were discharged into the moving
masses with terrible eff-ct, but it was
not until late in the evening that any
loss in the numbers was noted.
The next mornining the work was
again commenced, and the party sue
ceeded about 10 o'clock in getting q
blast ready for explosion. which, when
it occurred, hurled over 200 OF the ser
pents in a mangled condition into the
air. Mr.. Harris says he is confident
10000 of the reptiles have been killed,
but it will be several days yet before the
end is reached. Among the reptiles he
found adders, racers. vipsrs, rattle and
bull snakes.-St. Joseph (Mo.l Cor. St.

Interfering With the Indians.

WASHINGTON, January l9.-Commis.
sioner Atkins, of the Indian Office, has
received a telegram from Indian Agent
Howard, the agent at Casa Crande,
Arizona, to the effect that the Phornix
and Maricopa Railway Company are
grading the line of the road through the
Gila River Indian Reservation without
having first obtained the consent of the
Indians, contrary to the provisions of the
act granting them the right of way. The
agent asks for military assistance to re-
move the graders. Upon receipt of this
information it was referred to the Secre.
tary of the Interior and the following
reply was sent to the Agent:
''The Secretary has instructed the
President of the railroad company to
stop work until the consent of the In
dams in council is obtained. If the
work does not stop notify this Office aud
the military will be called upon.

He picked up small ordinary trunk
and threw it on top of some other bag.

lifted the top of the car as though it was

tion being made it was found that the
baggage car had been almost blown to
pieces. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed, the train was stopped and the
baggage transferred to ano her car. A
brakeman who was in the car at the
time escaped by being thrown behind
stack of trunks. The damaged car was
side.tracked and the train then pro.
ceeded on its way. The Pennsylvania
railroad officials have determined to sift
the matter to the bottom. The owner of
the trunk was arrested when he pre-
sented his check for bis trunk at the

Railroad Agents Want to Get
Rich.

SAN Francisco, January ia de.
termined effort is being made by several
local railroad agents to form a new as
sociation for the maintenance of rates.
The movement is principally intended
to put stop to the practice so much in
vogue of late. of paying commissions to
passengers. If the association was in
existence these commissions would be
paid to the agents in person, and would
90 to swell his salary, instead of which
on account of the cutting at present 60

rectly to passengers. Messrs. Mccall,
Hitchcock and Clinton Jones to-day
waited upon majority of the local
agents to obtain, if possible, their con-
sent to enter the association and pledge
themselves to maintain the Southern Pa
cific tariff. They propose to do away
with all expensive machinery, to have
no arbitrators and to simply impose a
fine Of $50 in all proven cases OF rate

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-01-20

There is tradition amounting almost
to superstition among business men
and among some spectators that the
condition of the iron and steel trade is
the safest possible index to the condi-
ton OF the country. According to the
bulletin of the iron and steel association
this trade has never been in a more SOL
idly prosperous state. Not only was
there especial activity, but it was evenly
distributed through the year. "Our
production" it says. .'in 1856 of pig
iron. Bessemer steel and steel rails, open
hearth steel, structural iron and steel
and some other products, has been much
larger than in 1885; and our production
OF pig iron, Be.semer steel and Besse-
mer steel rails and open hearth steel has
been much the largest in our history"
With this cheerful outlook for the new
year it would be almost cruel to remind
the gentlemen of the iron and steel asso-
station that this prosperity has come to
them after a change of administration,
which they believed or tried to make
the country believe would work blue
ruin.-iN. Y. Times.
